HF&H CONSULTANTS, LLC - FIRST AMENDMENT (#2026342)

Page 6 of 8 EXHIBIT A Scope of Consultant’s Services Task 1 – Project Initiation and Management HF&H will facilitate a two-hour meeting with City staff to initiate the project. This meeting will serve as a forum for reviewing the project approach, objectives, key milestones, and deadlines. While our prior discussions with City staff provided a foundational understanding of current programs, the kick-off meeting will offer a forum for the City to provide additional context surrounding its unique situation, which will help ensure the project deliverables are congruent with the City’s goals. This meeting will also be utilized to finalize a schedule and explore other City priorities that may interact with this process. HF&H will develop an agenda for the meeting and will prepare meeting notes that will be shared with City staff once the meeting has concluded. These notes will serve as the basis for the amendment of the franchise agreement and will include: policy and process information; desired business terms; core, ancillary, or other services to be included; and a negotiations schedule. In addition to the kick-off meeting, HF&H will facilitate bi-weekly, 30-minute alignment meetings with the City. These meetings will be held throughout the negotiation period in order to maintain close coordination on key decisions, progress updates, and emerging considerations. This task also encompasses ongoing project management hours that will be used by HF&H to support effective collaboration, timely communication, and adherence to the agreed-upon schedule. Task 2 – Develop List of City’s Desired Services and Terms Following the project initiation meetings, HF&H will develop a term sheet that includes a list of the City’s desired services and terms. HF&H will meet with City staff during an alignment meeting to review and discuss any required updates and provide one (1) round of revisions. Through our extensive experience negotiating agreements, we have found that using a term sheet to achieve material agreement between parties on key deal points prevents significant redrafting of the franchise agreement later in the process. Task 3 – Meetings with Franchisee to Confirm Services and Terms Following the completion of Task 2, the term sheet will be distributed to the City’s franchisee for review. We have budgeted for a two-hour, in-person meeting with the franchisee. We have also included time for a one-hour internal prep meeting prior to each franchisee meeting and for preparation of meeting notes following the franchisee meeting. Task 4 – Franchise Negotiations and Draft Agreement Amendment HF&H will assist the City in the development of a restated franchise agreement that reflects legislative requirements, relevant best practices, and other City priorities. We have built time into Tasks one through three for working closely with the City and the franchisee to identify and adapt the service specifications to industry trends and developments that have occurred since the current agreements were developed. HF&H has an extensive library of franchise agreements throughout California to draw upon when preparing language encompassing performance Docusign Envelope ID: 5F19B034-CFF6-4974-BF94-62C8D46B35F0Docusign Envelope ID: D0CB4BF3-FEDC-4F7D-95C4-0EB4DA05C18DDocusign Envelope ID: 804B2B42-D170-827B-8224-2AEAE4830555
